    SuperBowl, OTA

    I am in the same boat, up in Seattle the Fox tower is opposite the rest of the towers. I can't tune in Fox even with my antennae pointed the other way. Can someone recommend an amplifier to purchase that might help boost signal? My configuration has the OTA and Voom dish cables going into a...

    OTA Signal Strong but Not Displaying on TV

    Here in Seattle PBS Channel's 9-1, 9-3, and 9-5 all come in at 99 signal strength. Only 9-1 works, 9-3 and 9-5 have no picture. All three show up in the PG. I just spoke with the station engineer, he says that all three channels are streaming PSIP data and he theorizes that the Voom box is...

    West Coast VOOM Issues

    I live in West Seattle and have been Vooming since November 15th. The dish points extremely low in the eastern horizon. In fact the installer had to mount the dish the wrong way on the mounting bracket to get low enough on the horizon to reach the satelite. With all the hills, mountains, and...
